I know this will be totally biased but to me this is the best space combat game in existence. It has such a variation in its missions and its so much fun flying around and dog fighting amongst the flak and beams of capital ships. Or trying to navigate through a nebula full of enemies who you cant see until they are right on top of you. The story line is epic with twists and turns and just when you think your safe your thrust into the epic finale of missions to defend Galactic Terran-Vasudan Space from the Destroyers (Shivans) The environment is gorgeous and for those who are really crazy about graphics if you download FS_open from Hardlight.net there are updates to the graphics and numerous other things, there are also mod tools and a multitude of player made campaigns.
